I lost everything but was shown mercy. Hopefully people don't lose sight of professionalism.

Too Long Didn't Read: I am a recurring Diamond III player that is quite known for representing Singed as a practical blind champion pick, though not to the extent of those higher elo with him than me. As my ego and lust for more attention grew, my brewing hatred for those I felt holding me back eroded my professional silent attitude in-game. After a particular collapse from Diamond 1 due to circumstances relating to trolls, I effectively snapped and in a short-lived outburst went insane with toxicity in-game. It was so bad that Riot was initially content with permanently exiling me, but after frantic apologies and observation of the situation given how I was never toxic or in trouble before, I was let loose on a week ban.

Regardless, in my pursuit of more glorious elo I lost my calm and now there's no hope since I've lost my rewards for the season. I'm not sure what to learn from this incident. Ideally they said I should learn to a better person, but this whole thing has only nurtured my murderous bitterness toward people.

Regardless, I won't type anything in the game ever again if I happen to play. Not even for favorable roles or bans I would like. I hope people remember my tragedy as a lesson to never be tempted by people you hate, no matter what, as it will always bite you back.

Confirmed not true. But regardless, I failed and only have myself to blame.

Confirmed? Only if you were banned for cheating prior to that long. Are you talking about something else or chat restrictions?

I was suspended for "excessive toxicity in a short period of time" that de-escalated into a softer ban but I won't be taking any chances again. I read from Lyte's older posts that if you were ever banned during any point during a season, it's curtains for your rewards and that was the end of it.

I'm not complaining about it though. Just lamenting my breakdown, being utterly grateful for the surprising mercy, and hoping people don't fall down the same road I did.

You're going to have to find that post again, because I guarantee you that is not the case. You even posted last season's rules earlier which say otherwise.

edit: For clarification, bans for cheating (MMR Boosting) will make you ineligible for the whole season.

It says the same thing;

Here's this year's Ranked Rewards policy:

  1. Players with ACTIVE Chat and Ranked Restrictions by End of Season will not receive ranked rewards.
  1. Players that have received game bans for cheating (hacking, scripting, Elo Boosting, etc) will not receive ranked rewards.
  1. Players that have received game bans for player behavior (verbal or gameplay toxicity) will not receive ranked rewards UNLESS they have had no punishments for AT LEAST 3 MONTHS up to the End of Season.
  1. Players that have received Low Priority Queues (from LeaverBuster) will not be affected in 2015 because we don't want to punish players for the random DC or hardware/ISP failure.
  1. Ranked Reward eligibility is reset every season.

so does that mean if I simply reform now I do have another chance?

All you have to do is not get punished again for the most part. Though, if you got a 14 day ban you're going to be on the verge of a permaban, so you should worry about not being punished at all rather than not getting Ranked rewards.

Punishment tiers do diminish over time if you show reform though, so you won't be at risk of a permaban forever. Keep in mind that the rules here are for 2015 and the 2016 rules will be announced closer to the end of the season. As I said before, it's not unreasonable to think the rules will be very similar, but there could be changes.

i honestly feel like riot is too harsh when it comes to chat offenses. and not harsh enough when it comes to trolling. or people provoking. but no one will listen to me because i'm just "butthurt" which isnt true
